Description
The Musée Angladon pays tribute to its founders, artists and collectors from Avignon, heirs to the Jacques Doucet collection. 170 of their works are displayed in a layout evoking the atmosphere of their studio.
We owe them the Museum that bears their name in Avignon, but who were Jean and Paulette Angladon? Jean Angladon (1906-1979) and Paulette Martin (1905-1988) were husband and wife, both students at the École d'art d'Avignon, artists and collectors. They were heirs to their great-uncle Jacques Doucet's magnificent collection of paintings and objets d'art, and it's thanks to them that these treasures, including masterpieces by Sisley, Van Gogh, Modigliani, Cézanne, Degas, Manet and Picasso, among others, can be admired today in Avignon. Painters, draughtsmen and engravers, they enjoyed an extraordinary artistic partnership, each listening to the other, sometimes drawing inspiration from the same motifs, but each expressing a unique style and personality.
Their mansion on rue Laboureur housed a studio on the second floor. It was here that the Musée team chose to pay tribute to them, in a hanging exercise
